Second Quarter 2026 Operating Results
Gross premiums written were $508.0 million, a 16.7% increase compared to $435.4 million in the prior-year period, driven by growth of voluntary new business and renewals of previously acquired Citizens policies.
Net premiums earned grew 47.9% to $360.6 million, compared to $243.9 million in the prior-year period, while total revenue of $386.8 million increased 47.9% compared to $261.6 million in the prior-year period. The increase and year-over-year growth were directly driven by earnings growth from previous increase in voluntary homeowners and Citizens acquired policies.
Losses and loss adjustment expenses (LAE) incurred, net were $108.7 million, compared to $91.4 million in the prior-year period. Loss ratio improved to 30.2%, compared to 37.4% in the prior-year period, primarily due to an improvement in overall loss experience.
Policy acquisition and other underwriting expenses were $42.3 million, compared to $32.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase was driven by increased renewal policies from prior year assumed Citizens' policies, resulting in increased policy acquisition costs in 2026.
General and administrative expenses were $55.0 million, compared to $37.9 million in the prior-year period, due primarily to the increased staffing costs and technology to support the Company’s strategic growth initiatives.
The combined ratio improved to 57.6%, compared to 67.4% in the prior-year period, due primarily to improved loss experience and scaling impact in net earned premium growth with more moderate operating expense growth.
Net income grew 92.4% to $134.9 million, compared to $70.1 million in the prior-year period. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 was $1.06 and return on equity was 11.7% in the quarter.
Capital Allocation
During the quarter, the company repurchased 2,997,980 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $17.95 per share. There remains $114.1 million of availability under the Company’s stock repurchase program.
In addition, on July 27, 2026, the Company announced that it has declared an initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Full Year 2026 Outlook
